The Tears of a Clown

歌詞

Now if there's a smile on my face It's only there trying to fool the public But when it comes down to fooling you Now honey that's quite a different subject But don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Really I'm sad Oh I'm sadder than sad You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad Like a clown I pretend to be glad Now there's some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than The tears of a clown, when there's no one around Oh yeah baby Now if I appear to be carefree It's only to camouflage my sadness And honey to shield my pride I try To cover this hurt with a show of gladness But don't let my show convince you That I've been happy since you Decided to go Oh I need you so I'm hurt and I want you to know But for others I put on a show, ooh yeah Now there's some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than The tears of a clown When there's no one around Oh yeah Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my sadness hid Smiling in the public eye But in my lonely room I cry The tears of a clown When there's no one around Oh yeah baby Now if there's a smile on my face Don't let my glad expression Give you the wrong impression Don't let this smile I wear Make you think that I don't care When really I'm sad,
